super point guard

Chapter 1
For many players who make a living by playing basketball, the annual NBA draft is the best opportunity, an excellent opportunity to make them soar to the top and become rich overnight.In June every year, many players come to the Madison Square Garden in New York, which is known as the Holy Land of Basketball, to participate in the annual NBA draft, looking forward to being selected by which NBA team, thus Make a huge change in your life.The same is true for the 2011 NBA draft. Those young guys who came to participate in the NBA draft sat at the crowded draft conference site in the Prudential Center Arena in New Jersey, anxiously and nervously waiting for NBA Commissioner David S. Tern read his name.Among these players, a boy with yellow skin, black hair and black eyes stood out in the crowd.

Xu Nuo sat there quietly, quietly waiting for President David Stern's "sentence". From the outside, Xu Nuo looked very calm, with no expression on his face, but this also showed that in fact In his heart, like other players, he was extremely nervous.Xu Nuo took a deep breath and tried his best to stop the trembling of his fingers.However, if Xu Nuo wasn't very nervous, the two people sitting next to him were more nervous than Xu Xu himself.Of course they are the promised parents. They came to New York specially with their son to accompany him to participate in this NBA draft that they don’t know very well. They only know that if “someone” calls out their son’s name, Then the turning point for their family came.So they were more nervous than they promised themselves that their son's name would not be pronounced.

At this moment, a fat old man, Mr. NBA President David Stern, stepped onto the stage and stood in front of a speech platform, and the players in the audience immediately started whispering.

"God, bless me!" Xu Nuo heard a player beside him praying secretly, "I really want to go to Los Angeles!"

Xu Nuo couldn't help but smile slightly, but the smile was also fleeting.

In Xu Nuo's heart, he really wants to play for the Orlando Magic. After all, the Orlando Magic has the best center in the league, Dwight Howard. Playing ball will be a very happy thing.If you can't go to Orlando, then the New York Knicks is also a good choice, after all, there are such excellent players as Carmelo Anthony, Amell Stoudemire and Chauncey Billups.Before the draft, Xu went to these two teams for trial training, and both teams praised him greatly.However, whether I will go to one of these two teams or not is really resigned to fate.

As soon as Xu Nuo thought of this, a person sat down in an empty seat beside him. Xu Nuo glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the rostrum again, hoping that David Stern would quickly read the list of draft picks. There is a lot of nonsense there.At this moment, the player who was sitting next to Xu Nuo just turned his head and asked Xu Nuo, "Has the draft started?"

Although Xu Nuo's English is not very good, he still has no problem with some daily conversations. He also replied in English: "Not yet, it will start soon."

"Oh, thank God, I thought I was late," the man said, and Xu Nuo smiled.

"It seems that you are an oriental?" After sitting down, the man became much more relaxed, he asked Xu Xu.

"Yes," Xu Nuo replied with a nod, "I am Chinese."

"Wow, you're a Chinese!" The man opened his mouth wide in surprise, "I really really like China, I mean man! I've always wanted to visit China one day, and I've always I want to meet your big brother Yao Ming from China, he is a good player, but unfortunately he is retired now, otherwise I would really like to compete with him on the court, I am serious man!"

Xu Nuo frowned, "Maybe one day you can find me in China." He said, interrupting the man's chatter.

"Really?" the man said excitedly, "My name is Derek Williams, please give me your advice."

"My name is Xu Nuo, please give me your advice." Xu Nuo shook the hand extended by the man, but he was taken aback because he also knew that Derek Williams in front of him was the top pick in the draft!
At this moment, Mr. David Stern, the president of the NBA on the rostrum, finally finished his long opening speech and began to read out the draft list. Everyone hurry up and listen carefully to what comes out of David Stern's mouth. Every word, only the promise still looks casual.

David Stern seems to have read the names of the players on the list before starting to read the draft list.David Stern cleared his throat, looked around the audience, and the venue really fell silent.

"The No. 2011 pick in the [-] NBA draft," David Stern announced after a deliberate pause, "is point guard Kyrie Irving from Duke University, drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers!"

Xu Nuo heard the jubilation in a certain place in the venue, but he didn't pay attention to it. He only focused on his own draft.He watched Kyrie Irving take the stage to pose for a photo with David Stern, feeling a sudden burst of envy.

"It would be great if it was me." Xu Nuo thought to himself, "But whether I will be selected now is still a question, I am so angry..."

At this time, David Stern on the rostrum went on to read:
"The No. 2011 pick in the [-] NBA draft is power forward Derek Williams from the University of Arizona, selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves!"

Xu Nuo was taken aback, and then he realized that there was joy around him, and Xu Nuo saw Derek Williams and his mother hugging happily together.

"Man, I'm the No. [-] pick!" Derek Williams excitedly yelled at the promise.

"Congratulations, buddy!" Xu Nuo said, thinking that even though he didn't make the top three, he won't have to worry about being in the United States after getting acquainted with the No. [-] pick in the NBA.

After Derek Williams and David Stern smiled and took a group photo and returned to their seats, seeing Xu Nuo's frowning face, he asked, "What's the matter, buddy?"

"Sigh..." Xu Nuo said, "I don't have much information about myself, so it might be hard to choose."

"Don't be discouraged, the draft has just begun, you're sure to be fine." Derek Williams said, "I'll introduce you to my mother..."

At this time, David Stern on the rostrum has continued to read:

"The No. 2011 overall pick in the [-] NBA Draft is center Enas Kanter from Turkey, selected by the Utah Jazz..."

"The fourth pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA draft, power forward Tristan Thompson from the University of Texas, was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers..."

"The fifth pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA draft, center Jonas Valenciunas from Lithuania, was selected by the Toronto Raptors..."

"The sixth overall pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA draft, Czech forward Jan Veseli, selected by the Washington Wizards..."

Xu Nuo couldn't help shaking his head as he watched that Jan Veseli excitedly kissing his girlfriend Eva.

"That kid can put on a show, huh?" Derek Williams said to Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo just nodded without saying anything, and then continued to listen to David Stern's reading:
"The seventh pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA draft, center Bismack Biyombo from Congo, was selected by the Sacramento Kings..."

"The eighth pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft, point guard Brandon Knight from the University of Kentucky, selected by the Detroit Pistons..."

"Ninth pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft, point guard Kemba Walker from the University of Connecticut, selected by the Charlotte Bobcats..."

"The 2011th overall pick in the first round of the [-] NBA Draft, point guard Jimmy Fredette from Brigham Young University, selected by the Milwaukee Bucks..."

…………

"It's already passed the top ten, and I haven't read it yet!" Xu Nuo said with some disappointment.

"It's okay, maybe the next one will be." Derek Williams comforted and promised.

But David Stern immediately read the name of the No.11 pick in the first round, Klay Thompson. Derek Williams couldn't help but shrugged, promised to smile, and then continued to listen to David Stern. Stern read on:
"No.2011 pick in the first round of the 12 NBA Draft, guard Alec Bucks from the University of Colorado, selected by the Utah Jazz..."

"No.2011 pick in the first round of the 13 NBA Draft, power forward Markieff Morris from the University of Kansas, selected by the Phoenix Suns..."

"No.2011 pick in the first round of the 14 NBA Draft, power forward Marcus Morris from the University of Kansas, selected by the Houston Rockets..."

"The No.2011 pick in the first round of the 15 NBA Draft, small forward Kawhi Leonard from San Diego State University, selected by the Indiana Pacers..."

"No.2011 pick in the first round of the 16 NBA Draft, center Nikola Vucevic from the University of Southern California, selected by the Philadelphia 76ers..."

"No. 2011 pick in the first round of the 17 NBA Draft, point guard Iman Schubert from Georgia Tech, selected by the New York Knicks..."

Hearing this, Xu Nuo couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"What's the matter, buddy?" Derek Williams, who was beside him, asked him.

"I really wanted to go to the New York Knicks, but they still didn't choose me." Xu Nuo said disappointedly.

At this time, Xu Nuo felt someone pat him on the shoulder. Xu Nuo looked back and saw his agent, Bill Duffy, looking at him. Standing behind Bill Duffy, of course, was the one who had been on the road to the draft. He helped his senior Yao Ming.

As soon as Derek Williams saw Yao Ming, he hurriedly asked Yao Ming for his autograph.Bill Duffy and Yao Ming found a seat and sat down while chatting with Xu Nuo's parents. Bill Duffy asked Xu Nuo, "How is the situation?"

"The New York Knicks still haven't drafted me," Promise said. "I don't know what will happen to the Orlando Magic."

"It doesn't matter, you will definitely be selected." Yao Ming said in his rough voice.

Xu Nuo sighed in his heart, and then, together with Yao Ming and others, continued to listen to David Stern read the draft list:

"The No.2011 sixth pick in the first round of the 20 NBA Draft, small forward Jordan Hamilton from the University of Texas, selected by the Dallas Mavericks..."

"The No.2011 seventh pick in the first round of the 20 NBA Draft, power forward Jajuan Johnson from Purdue University, selected by the New Jersey Nets..."

"The No. 2011 eighth pick in the first round of the 20 NBA Draft, point guard Norris Cole from Cleveland State University, selected by the Chicago Bulls..."

"The No. 2011 ninth pick in the first round of the 20 NBA Draft, point guard Corey Joseph from the University of Texas, selected by the San Antonio Spurs..."

"The No.2011 pick in the first round of the 30 NBA Draft, small forward Jimmy Butler from Marquette University, selected by the Chicago Bulls..."

The first-round rookie list has been read out, but David Stern still hasn't read Xu Nuo's name, which makes Xu Nuo feel very disappointed, and keeps fiddling with his maroon tie. Uncomfortable, Xu Nuo really wanted to take off the tie.

"Don't worry, the draft is not over yet." Derek Williams said to Promise.

However, David Stern didn't read the promised name until the No.12 pick in the second round of the draft:
"The No.2011 pick in the second round of the 12 NBA Draft, a point guard from China promises to be selected by the Indiana Pacers!"

After hearing David Stern read this sentence, Xu Nuo couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise.
